We Decode The Best Celebrity Beauty Looks Seen On The ICW 2018 Runway

India Couture Week, which showcases some of the most glamorous bridal couture creations by India’s top designers, ended this weekend. Featuring a slew of opulent ensembles, it also gave us a glimpse of high-voltage beauty looks, worn by the showstopper stars.

With some of Bollywood’s reigning queens walking the runway, done up to perfection, the beauty looks spotted during the shows deserved documentation and breaking down. So, if you’re looking for bridal beauty looks to recreate this wedding season, these makeup and hair styles are just the inspiration you need.

Aditi Rao Hydari’s champagne and bronze glow

Aditi Rao Hydari closed Tarun Tahiliani’s show in a peachy, pearl-studded ensemble. Her makeup also complemented the softly-lit vibe of this outfit.

Highlighted to the gods as always, Aditi showed off her glow with her signature middle-parted bun, which was tightly pinned away from her face and decorated with white flowers which resembled a bouquet of baby’s breath.

Of course, her famous brows were Instagram-ready and very well-filled, and her falsies were very fluttery. With oodles of terracotta bronzer on her cheeks and a peach blush to keep the palette warm, she also used a brown-toned nude as her lipcolour. In keeping with the lips, her crease colour on the eyelid was also taupe. With a champagne shimmer shadow packed at the centre and inner corners of her lids, the healthy, glowing look was completed.

Shilpa Shetty’s violet berry lips

In a departure from her usual warm smokey eyes and glossy nude lips, Shilpa’s runway look for Amit Aggarwal was cool-toned and berry-hued. Complementing the futuristic purple and violet saree she donned, the beauty look was sleek and edgy.

Her hair was gelled into a sleek, side-parted do, with the top styled into a pouf. A dramatic metallic barette (told you they were in!) secured her locks right above her left ear, as the wet-looking locks remained pinned.

The makeup, which featured smoked-out eyeliner and loads of mascara, was made unique by the glossy berry lip colour. While her cheeks did feature a lot of sculpting colour, her eyelids were kept relatively naked and kohl-free, unlike her usual looks.

Kareena Kapoor Khan’s gilded glamour

Did someone say extra? Kareena’s over-the-top avatar did total justice to her reputation as Bollywood’s biggest diva, thanks to the dipped-in-gold effect of her makeup and lehenga for Falguni and Shane Peacock. A sideswept movie-star blowout (complete with voluminous curls at the bottom) did add oomph to her look, but the real star of the show was her makeup.

Dripping in highlighter, her sharply contoured cheekbones and nose could be spotted from a mile away, while her sparkly nude lip gloss looked like the stuff of Paris Hilton’s 2004 dreams. The real work, though, was done on her eyes. A bronze, brown and green-gold smokey eye, it was an eyeshadow look fit for a bride. Her inner corners were also lit with gold eyeshadow, making her face look even more illuminated.

Kiara Advani’s spring garden look

A departure from the warm and golden looks seen on everyone else, Kiara Advani’s springtime-ready, fresh beauty look for Shyamal and Bhumika was probably the most cheerful and pretty one seen at ICW. Middle-parted, her sleek black locks would have made Kim Kardashian proud.

Her clean makeup look, on the other hand, was an ideal beauty look for bridesmaids. A neutral champagne shimmer eyeshadow made her eyelids look radiant, while the neat and minimalistic black eyeliner helped define her peepers. Contoured very subtly, her skin was illuminated and featured an all-round glow. The rani-pink lipstick, however was the highlight of the look, contrasting beautifully with her mint-green lehenga.

Kangana Ranaut’s superstar cut-crease

Kangana’s hair was a very unique ‘do, bringing old English Victorian style to the regal look she donned for Anju Modi. Puffed at the sides of the crown, the vintage half-‘do was pretty unique.

What was totally glamorous and film star-like, though, was her foiled metallic smokey eye. While the outer corner of the eyes were kept dark, a sparkly gold, much like Kareena’s, opened up the eyes by lighting up the centre and inner corners of hr eyes. Highlighter and contour chiselled her face impeccably enough to pull the whole look together, Kangana’s bronzer was kept heavy and warm. Pink lipstick and thick, pencilled-in brows finished her queenly beauty look.

Yami Gautam’s party-ready winged flick

Recently having chopped her hair off, Yami showed off her asymmetrical bob with aplomb on the runway, styling it into dishevelled-chic waves. What we really loved about the look, though, was the minimalism.
